CHAMBERSBURG -- Public Opinion is once again asking for families to send in their soldier's name and address for Operation Cheer.

Each year we publish in print and online the names and addresses of our local men and women in the military so people can send cards, wishes or packages to them over the holiday season. Soldiers can be stationed abroad or in the United States, in any branch of the service.

Post Office Deadlines for shipping cards and packages to certain parts of the world can be as early as November, so we will begin publishing these names and addresses - and any deadlines from the Postal Service - as soon as they come in, and will continue to do so until the holiday season is over.

Soldier information should be sent to:
